Bio:

I moved to Vancouver in 2000, and worked for the largest credit union in Canada, Vancity. During these years, I showed my creative personality. I created a poster for the Vancity Pet Drive, designed the Vancity logo for the Easter Seals 24-Hour Relay, and created a colourful manual for investments to explain my knowledge of the products.

After 2 years with Vancity, I was promoted. I created print materials for the Ask Me If You Can event at the Marpole Community Branch, made a 3d high-density polymer foam model used for the Fairview Community Branch Business Networking Event, and created staff activities for a Registered Retirement Savings sales campaign.

I was promoted again 3 years later to Analyst in the Community Business Banking Department, where I mastered complex systems with virtually no training, under extreme pressure. I also volunteered as the department lead for the Employee Wellness Campaign to ensure a positive work environment.

I am currently pursuing completion of Langara College's Communication and Ideation Design Program in Vancouver BC Canada.
